On the V3 with OI, I NEVER turn the power off, and the battery life is in weeks when I only read a few hundred pages per day.
Someone did the calculations for an older Cybook (the EB100 64M one). For that, a single power cycle used as much power as about 15 minutes of reading. Different hardware of course, but it's a data point.
